are you there?

the only way i can express my feelings
is by putting on a mask and pretending like i need it
i need it
real fast
its real crass of you to assume
im here with you in the room
behind these eyes is nothing but healing
and tearing at gashes like i know i rly feel it
i need it
the feeling
of crying
im sure
it makes everything more bearable when nothing is pure
spirit are you here
spirit are you there?
open a door or slam it i dont really care
spirit can you hear me?
please give me a sign
to tell me, a ghost, that you are still alive
all these stupid songs are just selfish
im telling my stories for all that want to hear it
i need it
the freedom
of myself
for sure
art is self indulgent but we all bite the lure
of fame and money and living freely
im a real boy but my strings are still leading
myself
away from
my dreams
im sure
when a disease is so rampant why dont we take the cure?
spirit can you hear me?
please open my eyes
enlighten our brains quickly but please dont tell me lies
im fighting for my life here
im spread so fucking thin
for once im life please just let me win
i went up to the town at night where we grew up
and stayed up late
you held my hand
i felt at stake
u became my moon
i almost tripped
but you began to start lifting me
i started to feel like i was breathing free
you are my moon
you, beautiful you

beautiful rivalry

what a beautiful rivalry we have
a comfort ive never had
a muse to write about that wasnt actually that sad
i was scared and confused
my words spilt on the floor
you always hate when i knock at your front door
|

3. |

|
put ur thighs on my hips
so that i can feel alive
put ur cheeks against my lips
so i can feel you breathe
on that first walk we took
ive never felt so scared in myself
now i feel that same fright again
cuz i just want this to work
so please, please, please
theres no heros or villains in this fucking story
just human beings living trying to ignore the
thought of being something that you werent born being told that you were
and it just hurts when the ones that you love just turn their back on the person that youve turned and become
and im sorry my love that your family snickered and snorted in the same strength that i come over to love and adore you

in half broken japanese i wrote to you
愛してる oh 愛してる
for most of my life ive thought not with my heart but my brain
心を愛してる
on what i thought was the first day of my life
i saw god and rode my bike to school
no-ones allowed to kill me
except me and various members of my family
so take those filthy words out your mouth
thats not where they belong
rip those fuckin words out that mouth
cuz i need em, i need em for song
on what i thought was the worst day of my life
i started a cult and violently played guitar
i refused to let the sleeping pills take hold
so i lived in the woods and just fell apart
sometimes i get flustered and blistered
by the things that people say
but that shit dont matter
those fucks can get madder im not going away

freight train
02:08

sorry guys this shouldve been a therapy session
but i dont feel like my therapist would understand
im not saying that my brain is complicated
but on the subject of therapy thats where i stand
i hear these folk punk singers singing about leaving home on freight train
theres some train tracks in my village
wanna lie on them whilst we lie fall asleep?
when is it my turn to win?
when is it my turn to succeed?
when can i finally be free
from letting people step all over me
customers get mad when i dont speak up
but my voice is real quiet sometimes
they scream and they shout
to show what theyre all about
but they dont know nothin about me
sometimes i think why cant we all be nice
no transphobia, racism or anything
but i see it in the media
i see it when i go outside
and it makes me wanna hop of freight train once again
i want the catharsis of knowing
there wont be anything when i die
i want the closure of knowing
my future isnt just gonna run dry
i want a house in the woods with my boyfriend
i want couple of dogs and a little less dissociation
so if god is real then i challenge thee
cuz she challenges me everyday
she challenges me everyday
